From Agee to Zisk – The “No Votes” of the Baseball Hall of Fame
Woo Hoo!!
Andre Dawson made the Baseball Hall of Fame!! Awesome. Too bad Bert Blyleven didn’t join him.
Instead of talking about someone who got the 75% of votes needed to make the Hall … let’s look at those who have been unanimously shut out of the Hall of Fame. And I don’t mean players who went one-and done in their chance at the Hall.
I mean those...

Washington Nationals 100 Losses Jersey
I think it’s safe to say that the Washington Nationals are by far and away the worst franchise in baseball right now.
They’ve had a enormous uniform FAIL, no one watches them on TV or at their stadium, they can’t spell Roosevelt, and that stupid Screech the eagle mascot is just embarrassing.
Not to mention that the team can’t perform ON the field either...

In Baseball, Spit Happens
Baseball is filled with gross habits.
Crotch grabbing (which we photo-profiled a couple years ago) is one of them. It’s a necessity, considering the protective equipment down there.
Spitting is another one. I won’t go into all the reasons players spit (tobacco, sunflower seeds, disgust, anger, boredom) – but it happens. A lot.
And in many different ways...

Mark Buehrle’s gift to his Perfect Game teammates – a bottle of Crown Royal XR
Last week, White Sox lefthander Mark Buehrle pitched only the eighteenth Perfect Game in the history of Major League Baseball. As is the case in every perfect game – he had a little help from his defense.
Particularly outfielder Dewayne Wise, who took away a Home Run with a laping catch in the top of the [...]

Homer Run Derby Contest Update – 7/28/09
So with a couple days left in July, we should probably update the Home Run Derby contest standings, huh?
Here goes (albeit quickly)
There’s three days left to determine the July monthly cash prize … and something called ZARG 4 leads everybody with 69 Home Runs in July. He’s trailed by Jedi Baseball (67) and Brett Favre Comeback [...]

Cameras vs Baseballs. Baseballs win.
One of the best things about baseball is that with so many at-bats in a season … whatever you can think of is probably going to happen. So it kinda surprises me that very few baseballs ever hit the TV cameras around MLB ballparks.
But that’s not the case in the other fields around America, where cameras [...]

Did Prince Fielder untuck his jersey to cheese off Albert Pujols and the Cardinals?
Uh Oh.
We could have some bad blood between the two biggest sluggers in the NL Central. And it’s all about how you wear your uniform.
Here’s a quote from St. Louis Cardinals 1B Albert Pujols in an interview with USA Today …
“I see teams take their jerseys out when the game is over,” he says. “To me, [...]

Your 2009 Home Run Derby Contest 1st Half Champion – David Wright Can Bite Me!

Obama called the White Sox’ stadium “Cominskey Field”
So President Obama is a big fan of the Chicago White Sox.
Or so he tells and shows us. Over and Over.
Like last night during the All-Star game when he wore his White Sox jacket to throw out the first pitch (not so sure I liked that) and told Joe Buck and Tim “Corpse” McCarver [...]

The Presidential First Pitch Jinx
Tonight, President Barack Obama will throw out the first pitch at the 2009 All-Star Game in St. Louis. He’ll be the first sitting president to throw out a pitch at an ASG since Gerald Ford in the 1970’s.
There will be much pomp and circumstance and many Cardinals fans will cheer very loudly for our Commander-in-Chief as [...]

The 2009 Home Run Derby Drinking Game
So help me God, I LOVE THE HOME RUN DERBY.
Even though it might be glorified batting practice.
Even though it might get boring after oh, 10 Home Runs.
Even though it might be “all that’s wrong with the game”
Even though ESPN keeps trying to overhype and destroy it with its predictable coverage of the event.
Wait … predictable coverage of a [...]

The MLB Home Run Derby is right around the corner (literally – it’s on Monday).
Some of MLB’s top sluggers will be hitting lots of Home Runs in the Derby … but we thought it would be fun to take a peek at who these guys will be hitting “Home Runs” with AFTER the Derby. Namely, [...]

Home Run Derby Contest Update – 7/5/09

I’m disappointed. Even though we increased the Home Run Derby contest from 2008 … there’s only two teams in the running for the Top Prize for the 1st half of the season.

Manny Ramirez is a Cheap Ass
It’s a long standing tradition for a rehabbing Major League player to pick up the postgame spread for the Minor League club hosting him.
From Minor League Dugout …
One of baseball’s unwritten rules, along with not talking to a pitcher throwing a no-hitter, requires major league players on rehabilitation assignments to furnish a post-game meal for their often [...]

The Brewers’ Jeff Suppan is for Sale on eBay
Earlier this year, I wondered how Brewers fans would react to Jeff Suppan Bobblehead day on August 30, 2009.
Yes, that Jeff Suppan … the Brewers pitcher who surrendered three Home Runs in three innings to the Phialdelphia Phillies in Game 4 of the 2008 NLDS.
I didn’t have to wait until late August to find out. [...]

Why is Bucky Dent in my mailbox?
So I opened my mail last night … and there he was.
Bucky Dent. Or if you’re from Red Sox Nation, Bucky F-ing Dent.
Well, at least a three and a half inch cardboard facsimile of him in near-Mint condition.
This is cool. I like it. But wait … WTF?
Dent showed up in a plain white envelope addressed with a computer-generated label [...]
